Your questions about sink repair in Arlesey
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Arlesey included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Arlesey
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arlesey as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
